It is a hack, in fact it'll make your project unbuildable for anybody
using a binary-only-qt (be it distribution packages or some other
source). So you have to consider zlib the same as QuaZip itself, i.e.
either integrate it into your project as you did with QuaZip or have
some configure script which finds a working zlib header and library to
link QuaZip against (or lets the user point to one) and setup the .pro
files accordingly.
